Say It Loud

James Brown - Hot Pants (She Got To Use What She Got To Get What She Wants)

Just a quickie to pay tribute to an All Time Great. James Brown introduced me to funk in high school and still there's no one that makes me feel more comfortable or more creative while I'm shaking my stuff. An innovator and entertainer, James Brown's influence permeates deeply into the music of today and no doubt tomorrow too. Prolific in his prime, he toured all the way to the end. The Hardest-Working Man in Show Business, R.I.P.

From 1971, today's tune is the long version of 'Hot Pants' with the long title 'She Got To Use What She Got To Get What She Wants' (ripped from vinyl). Smoking!
